20 be the gate 20 thIt magnificent portion OF

RESPONSIBILITIES Will M nLA'l'
Norfolk Nirginian.l

The position Of the VTgini1n that
state convention OF the plrty was demand
ed Tor many reasons-w was sustained by the
prompt action OF tue State Democratic EX-
ecuiye Committee at Richmond last We'd
nesdsy. A. stated In the dispatch OF that
day, IL il 10 assemble ut Roanoke the 4th
day Of next August. The basis OF repre-
stntatiOn j. 10 be one delegate for every POO
Democratic votes cast in the last guberna-
torial election. The total vote cast for Gov
,TDor Lee was lj2, 5ii, which will mike the
membership Ct the convention about 1913.
We trust the pure mountain air may eX-
ert a healttiul influence upon the political
temperament Of the delegates. Their re-
spOnsibilitieS will be heavy, and II will be
disappointing il there is NirginIan in the
BODY who shall fail to realize and act upon
The idea that local iealouSies, neIghbor-
hood opinions, and irrelevant questions
nut not be introduced for consideration.
The requir, ments are patriotism, unselish-
ness, and thorough devotion to PRINCIPLES.
The objective points are the United States
senate and faithful guardianship over and
Preservation OF the public schools aud
other State institutions now in su 'cessiul
operation. The people must, too, be pro-
iccted against additional taxation, and this
without the stain OF reputation.
There Is some disappointment that Rich
monG-gallant city-was not named Is the
place of meeting. II is in our mind that
there were good and sufficient reasons for
the transfer, which will appear by aud by,
aud il will not surprise US in the least TO
hear that Nr. Barbour, sagaciOus man
and fine organizer. suggeted the change.

theft reported during the obsequies was
the robbery of an old German in a remote
part of the city, who lost cheap silver
watch
At 8 O'Clock in the morning the fifty de-
tectiVeS, a molly throng representing all
nationalities, gather at the Inspectors Office.
Some of them who work in the aristocratic
parts of the city are fashionably dressed
and others who explore the slums and docks
are appareled like coal beavers. Ono is
Bohemian, another an Italian and another
a Hebrew. They make their reports to the
Inspector, and if one has been derelict in his
duty he is pretty apt to find that somebody's
eyes have been on him and that the In
spector knows about his movements. The
Inspector is the court to try his case and
no outsider hears it. He may be reprimand-
ed or quietly dropped from the force, but
there is no appeal from the Inspectors de-
ciSion.
When a new detective is needed patrol
man is sometimes fiattered with an invitation
to put on citizens clothes and report to the
Inspector He may have been patrolling a
forlorn beat in the outskirts of the city, but
the Inspector who watches the record of
every promising policeman has heard of his
making clever arrest and wants to give
him trial. The Inspector has his truisms,
one of which is that a man who is to make
good detective will show something of his
fitness in his face, and another being that
he must first possess a great ambition to be
a detective. Ambition is the handspring
and secretiveness and perseverance the bal
ance of good detective. The Inspector has
also tradition that no woman makes
good detective "They are too apt to fall in
love-" he says, 'and woman in love will
tell all she knows. ! sometimes have to EN-
ploy woman, but / tell her no more about
the case than is absolutely necessary"

PLANT CITY, FLA, May 21-The Florida
Railway and Navigation Company, under
the able management of Receiver II. r.
Duval, is at last finished into Plant City, and
in two weeks through trains win be run to
jacksonville, Savannah, and Montgomery
Ala. This is the greatest success South
Florida has achieved since it was opened to
settlement. In the neighborhood of this
town are found some of the finest orange
groves in the State, and the shipments of
oranges, Strawberries and vegetables are
immense.
This years crops of corn, oats, sugar cane
and other field crops are very fine, and the
yield viii be very great. Peaches are ripe,
and are sold in stores at zoe. per dozen.
Watermelons are also being marketed.
Two acres planted in Strawberries by
Messrs. Yeates, Jett a. Co. last October
have paid all expenses and some money
besides. Some of these berries sold in New
York at 50 80 per quart, and there is no
finer strawberry garden i'll the South to-day
than this Of two acres.
The railroad from Plant City to Barlow
is TO be built during the summer, and the
j. M. and G. railroad is to be built from
here to Sara Sofa on the Gulf and we hear
of a road being built, or about TO be built,
from Macon. Ga, TO Plant City.

that | see a man take off his spectacleS to
give them a rub and off with them comes
his nose Such combination of spectacles
and proboscis did l see while taking an ex-
cursion in the elevator car of the Mutual

morning. The man told me when he took off
his specs that | needn't be scared, SO [
wasn't When he was in the army, cold

and plaster paris was better than nothing
He has false teeth and false hair. One leg
was cork leg. He can see out of but one
eye. The other is glass. Three fingers and
one thumb is all he possesses in the world,
One of his ears are false. But for all this,
he is the liveliest man in Portland. He
walks ten miles every day, rain or shine.
He has had three wives and survives them
all, and has refused five chances to get mar
ried again, SO he says, since he buried his
last wife, about year ago.

Favorable Railroad Earnings.

Railroad earnings continue to foot up ia
vorably, and, taken as whole, the roads
were never doing better. Early in the
year there were indications that this years
business would be the heaviest in their his

the new law took effect; then everybody
was down in the mouth. Transportation
lines were to beruined, and some went so
far as to say it was unwise for the roads to
undertake to do business under its provis-
